Wow that's very well done, I don't usually like the two tone fork idea but that is really smart, the Honda and Showa decal is the cherry on the cake.

What paints did you use?

Very nice job :clap:

I had intended to do mine in two colours (silver tops and black bottoms) when I repainted them this year, but I had problems with the black paint and had to strip it off and start again. By that time I gave up and repainted them all silver.

Look forward to seeing them on the bike :thumbup:
